Hey, it’s Akash here, and on this week’s episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I’m bringing back a classic - a rerun of what’s still the most popular team episode we’ve ever recorded.

It’s called “What Typical Mindfulness Is Missing”, and over the years, it’s racked up tens of thousands of downloads. I think it struck it chord when it dropped because it tackled a conversation we have often behind the scenes at RNT - the idea that you can’t just think your way to a transformation.

Mindfulness is powerful, and it absolutely has its place. But on its own, it’s not enough. Just like physical change isn’t the full picture either. What we’re really after - and what this episode explores - is a holistic approach that blends mind, body, and action.

This originally aired four or five years ago, but the message is just as relevant today - if not more. I hope you enjoy revisiting it.

On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I sit down with Raj Shah, a father of two and C suite executive of a major pharmaceutical company in the UK.

Raj first came on the pod on episode 92, after his first photoshoot back in 2019, and here we are… 6 years later, talking about how his journey has unfolded since. Raj went on an aggressive Investment Phase for a few years, and decided for his 40th this year, he wanted to pull the pin and get into the best shape of his life.

This was a fun one we filmed in the studio, so check out the RNT Fitness YouTube Channel for the footage.
